Application filed October 2l, 1913. Serial No. 258,9324.

' will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a phonograph lamp of the type described in my pending application Serial No. 184,068, tiled August 2, i917.

One object oi"- my present invention is to provide o phonograph lamp which is so oon-v strueted that the Yupper part of the strueture comprising the shade and reprodueer arm can. be revolved or turned into such a position that a record can applied to or removed from the record support by person standing at either side of the lamp.

Another object is to provide a phonograph lamp in which the shade is so Constructed that the entire shade, instead of merely the top portion of' the shade, can he moved into such a position that a record ean be applied toA or removed om the record support,

Figure 1 of the drawings is a vertical "eetional view of a phonograph lamp ooi ted in aeeordance with my present ini ei and I Fig. 2 is an enlarged horizontal see-tio* vient-aken on approximately the line of l.

Referring to the 'drawings which illustrate the preferred ttorm of my invention, designates the standard ot the lamp which een 'be of any preferred form and eonstri B designates vthe shade or" the lamp, C d nates one or more lighting units, prete: incandescent lamp bulbs arranged insit the shade B, D designates the motor of phonograph or sound reproducing maeh E designates the turntable or rotat ord support ot the phonograph and Y nates the reprodueer arm of eonven al form which is equipped with a stylus or needle that acts upon the record (not shown) supported by the turntable E. In the torni of my invention herein illustrated the sto' niiard of the lamp is so Constructed that it serves as the horn of the sound reprodneinfmaehine, said standard being hollow r open at its lower end so as to perzn' 1 son-nd to escape troni the horn. The i t,

can either be of the table type or of the type p that stands on the floor of a room, and the shade B can be of any preferred construction and design= lt is essential, however, so far as one feature of my present invention is concerned, that the shade B be mounted in such a manner that the entire shade can be moved into an inoperative position to acili tate removing` or ap )lying a record to the record support, and it is essential, so tar as another feature of my present invention is concerned, that the shade and reproduce/r arm be mounted in such a manner that they can be rotated or turned around the baseJA, so as to enable a person to apply or reiiiove a record without changing his position relatively to the lamp. In the form of my invention herein illustrated the reprodueer arm is Connected with the horn or hollow standard A ot the machine by means of a l conduit that is revolubly mounted on said horn or standard A. Said conduit 2 can be mounted in various ways without departing from the spirit of my invention, hut 1 re r te provide the lower end of said con uit with a tubular portion 3 that lits loosely in a bearingy a' mounted in the upper end portion of the standard A, the eonduit 2 having a horizontallyV sposed flange 3a that rests ou a liorizontally-disposed flange 4 on the bearing;` 4f. which laps over the upper end f thest ndard A. Thetubularportionofthe ronduit is weven-ted trom movingr upwardly out oi the hearing el by a pin or screw 5 in the bearing` that projects into an annular ,groove 6 in said tubular portion, and if desired, the tubular portion 3 can be provided with a stop 7 that strikes against the screw 5 when the conduit 2 is turned a certain distance in either direction. The motor D suspended lfrom a plate 8 carried by the ehn-duit Q and by a bracket 9 that projects laterally :from said conduit. as shown in Fig. and the shade B is pivotally connected at lll to a part ll that is stationary With lespeet to the conduit 2, said part 1l either consisting of a bracket that projects downwardly from the plate S or a bracket that is secured to the conduit 2. Any other pre i'erred method can be used for rotatably mounting the conduit 2 and for pivotally mounting the shade B, but it is essential that the pivot of the shade be located at such a point that the entire shade een be sw ups@ worthy, as shown in broken lines 1n F101,

cat1o11-previoi1sly referred to, and it has the -I- ;folloivingj characteristics which add greatly to itsA commercial value; namely, the entire upper part of the structure comprising the shade, recprdusupport. and reproducer arm :can be turned either to the right or left so as to bring them into the most convenient position for applying or removing'y a record, thus' overcoming the necessity of the user changing his position, and the shade B can be of conventionalwform, owing to the fact that the entire shade is hinged or pivotally mounted.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A device of the character referred to, consisting of a lamp provided with a shade and a standard, and a sound reproducing machine comprising a motor and reproducer arm arranged inside oi the shade of the lamp and revolubly mounted on the standard of the lamp.A

2. A device of the character referred to,

-consisting of a lamp and a sound reproducm` ing machine combinedas a single unit., and means for enabling the sound reproducing machine and the shade of the' lamp to be turned or revolved relatively to the standard of the lamp so to facilitate removing or applying.r a record to said machine.

3. A device of the; character referred to, consisting of a lamp and a sound reproducing machine combined as a single unit, the shade ofthe lamp and the rcproduccr arm ot'said machine beingr carried by a part that can he turned or revolved with relation toy the standard of thc lamp.

l. A device oi' the character referred to, consistingot' a lamp and a sound reproducing4 machine combined as a single unit, and a rvvnluhle part ou the standard of the lamp that carries the shade of' the lamp and the motor. 'record support and reproducer arm ot' the sound reproducing' machine.

5. .X device of the character referred t0,

consistingr of a lamp provided with a standard and a shade, a sound reproducing machine Whose record support and reproduccr arm are arranged inside ot' said shade, and a revoluble part on the standard of the lamp that carries the shade of the lamp and the essential 'parts ot' the sound reproducing machine.

6. A device of thc character referred to, consisting of a lamp provided with a standard and a shade, a revoluble part on said standard to which said shade is pivotally connected, and a sound reproducing machine carried by said rcvoluble parts and having its motor, record support and reproducer arm normally hidden from View by the shade of the lamp.

7. A device of the character referred t'o, consisting of a lamp and a phonrigraph combined as a single unit, the standard of the lamp constituting the horn ofV the phonograph and the motor, record support and reproducer arm of the phonograph being carried hy a part that vis revolubly mounted on the standard of the lamp.

8. A device of the character referred to, consisting of a lamp and a phonograph combined as a single unit, the standard ot the' lamp constituting the horn of the phonograph, and a. revoluble Aconduit on said standard Which carries the motor of the phonograph and also serves to connect. the

horn' with the reproducer arm of the phonoi graph.

9. A phonograph lamp, consisting of a lamp and a phonograph combined as a single unit, a part revolnbly mounted on the standard of the lamp, a support on said part which carries the motor of the phonograph, and a connection between said part and the shade of the lamp.

10. A device of the character referred to, consisting of a lamp pilovided with a shade whose upper and lowerportions aie permanently connected together, and a sound reproducing machine proiiivifded with a record support that is arranged inside ot' the shade,
